Really Random Tuesday #25: Short and Sweet

Is it possible?



This week marks my three-year blogiversary.  In May of 2008, I started Suko's Notebook.  During my first year of blogging, I got little traffic and few comments (blogging is not for the thin-skinned), but I didn't give up. No one knew about my blog, except for a few family members and friends, but I kept on reading and posting.  I had a lot to learn--and still do.  Gradually, I "met" book bloggers from all over the world.  Eventually, I started to hear from authors, agents, and publishers, and had the opportunity to review books and interview authors.

My book blog is constantly changing and evolving, and I hope that it will continue to grow and improve and be a site that's worth visiting. I appreciate all of my readers, and thank you for reading!

I often mention giveaway winners in my Really Random Tuesday posts. In fact, that's one of the reasons I created this meme, in order to have a "place" to announce them. The winner of the $25 Amazon gift card is Carrie from In the Hammock Book Reviews. Congratulations, Carrie!

If you didn't win this time, don't be too upset, because I have many other giveaways listed on the right side of my blog. Click on the covers of the books that interest you for details and to enter the giveaways.

  11. I can't believe it's been since 2008 since I've first 'met' you; wow, where did those three years go?! I think it was through the Japanese Literature Challenge that we connected, and I'm so glad you've been a faithful commenter for all these years. Blessings on your years of blogging to come! (We won't give up soon, will we?)
